This Integrative Graduate Education and Research (IGERT) award supports a Ph.D. training program at the Colorado School of Mines to pursue integrative research and education in Intelligent Geosystems. Graduate students will be trained to add real time, adaptive, sensing capabilities to the monitoring of natural or engineered earth structures, e.g., an earth dam, a ground water system, or a geoconstruction site (tunneling, urban excavation, highway); the sensor networks employed will allow a geosystem to sense its environment, diagnose its condition, and make decisions to improve the management, operation, or objective of the geosystem. The goals are to advance the development of the "intelligent" geosystems while educating and training a new generation of leaders who are able to operate effectively in this emerging interdisciplinary area. The proposed IGERT program will institute an interdisciplinary and holistic approach to trainees. Key components of this IGERT award include: (1) a multi-disciplinary collaborative research team framework to foster team development and interdisciplinary innovation in intelligent geosystem concepts; (2) a leadership and teamwork development program to train the next generation of geosystem leaders for industry, academia and government; (3) a PhD minor in social/environmental ethics & policy to broaden trainee understanding beyond the technical challenges to the social, environmental and political aspects of intelligent geosystems; (4) a self-paced cross-disciplinary technical course using modules in intelligent geosystems; and (5) an internship with a government laboratory or industry in intelligent geosystems. These five components of this IGERT program will produce diverse, highly skilled leaders with the strong social and environmental awareness required in multidisciplinary environments. IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.

这个综合研究生教育和研究（IGERT）奖支持博士学位。在科罗拉多矿业学院的培训计划，以追求智能地理系统的综合研究和教育。 研究生将接受培训，以增加真实的时间，自适应，传感能力，以监测自然或工程地球结构，例如，土坝、地下水系统或地质建筑工地（隧道、城市挖掘、高速公路）;所采用的传感器网络将允许地质系统感测其环境、诊断其状况并做出决策以改进地质系统的管理、操作或目标。其目标是推动“智能”地理系统的发展，同时教育和培训能够在这一新兴跨学科领域有效运作的新一代领导者。拟议的IGERT计划将为学员提供跨学科和全面的方法。 该IGERT奖项的主要组成部分包括：（1）多学科合作研究团队框架，以促进智能地理系统概念的团队发展和跨学科创新;（2）领导力和团队合作发展计划，为工业界，学术界和政府培养下一代地理系统领导者;（3）社会/环境伦理政策的博士辅修课程&，以拓宽学员对技术之外的理解智能地理系统的社会，环境和政治方面的挑战;（4）使用智能地理系统模块的自定进度的跨学科技术课程;以及（5）在智能地理系统的政府实验室或行业实习。这IGERT计划的这五个组成部分将产生多样化，高技能的领导者，具有多学科环境中所需的强烈的社会和环境意识。IGERT是一个NSF范围内的计划，旨在满足教育美国博士的挑战。具有跨学科背景的科学家和工程师，在所选学科的深厚知识，以及未来职业需求所需的技术，专业和个人技能。该计划旨在通过建立创新的研究生教育和培训新模式，在超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中促进研究生教育的文化变革。
